Bank Account Capture

Capture bank account details — without your agents ever hearing them

Working with our partner Acquired.com, we provide automated bank details capture and outbound payment services with secure tokenisation and COP verification. Agents never see or hear bank account details.

How Bank Account Capture Works

Secure, automated bank details collection with tokenisation and COP verification built in.

Secure Tokenisation

We encrypt and tokenise bank details the moment they arrive. They never sit in your systems in the clear.

COP Verification

Confirmation of Payee checks the account holder's name matches before anything is stored.

Automated Processing

Automated workflows for bank detail collection and outbound payment processing.

Partner Integration

Direct integration with Acquired.com for bank account capture and outbound payments.

Bank Account Capture Services

We collect bank details and send outbound payments, both automated. The platform captures the details, runs Confirmation of Payee, and tokenises them. Your team never touches the data.

Bank-Level Security

Built to PCI DSS Level 1 standards, so your customers' financial data is protected at every step.

Fully Customisable Bank Capture Forms

Build branded capture forms with full control over styling, your own fields, and the configuration options you need.

Customisable Forms

API Integration

Embed bank capture forms directly into your business applications, allowing customers to securely add their banking details.

COP Verification

Confirmation of Payee (COP) verification is included as standard, ensuring account validation and reducing fraud risk.

Secure Storage

We capture, encrypt and store the details on our platform, and hand your system a token.

Automated Payments

API-controlled outbound payment processing using stored tokens, reference numbers, and amounts — no manual steps required.

Webhook Retry

Webhook retries are configurable, with failover so a failed transaction still gets delivered.

How Bank Account Capture Works

1

Bank Detail Capture

Your agent opens the Paytia portal, picks bank account capture and sends a secure form. The customer enters their sort code and account number, either on the phone keypad or in the form.

2

COP Verification and Validation

We check the sort code against the EISCD database and run modulus checks on the account number. Confirmation of Payee verifies the name matches. Then we encrypt and tokenise.

3

Outbound Payment Processing

We encrypt, tokenise and store the verified details. Your system gets tokens for Direct Debit setup, outbound payments or recurring billing through the API.

Delivered in Partnership with Acquired.com

Acquired.com is a European fintech built around payment processing and banking. They cover merchant acquiring, banking-as-a-service and payment technology across several markets.

Trusted Partnership

Their financial infrastructure plus our payment security work, in one place — automated bank detail collection and outbound payments, without stitching two vendors together yourself.

Example use case: automated rebate payments

Rebate-driven businesses (solar, energy, insurance claims)

A solar-rebate business handles hundreds of payment requests a month. Without us, here's the workflow. The customer fills in a claim form. They email or phone in their bank details. Operations staff copy those details into the payment system. A second person checks the transcription. The payment goes out on the next batch run. That's sensitive data on desks, in inboxes and in notebooks — and every human step is a chance to mistype a sort code.

With Bank Account Capture, the customer fills in a branded form that we host. We check it against Confirmation of Payee, tokenise it, and store it in our PCI DSS Level 1 environment. Your staff never see the account number. The payment still goes out when you trigger it — same workflow, none of the data.

What you save depends on the business, but the pattern holds. The manual capture-and-verify step disappears, and banking data stops sitting on operations desktops. In insurance, finance and utilities that lifts a real data-protection burden, and you don't have to rewrite the claims process to get it.

Data Protection and Compliance — We Handle the Burden

Your Systems Never Store Sensitive Banking Data

Your systems never receive, process or store banking identification data. We capture it on our own platform, encrypt it with AES-256, and hold it in our PCI DSS Level 1 infrastructure.
You get tokens instead of raw data. That takes storing sensitive financial information off your plate, and shrinks your audit scope and data protection duties with it.

Compliance Benefits

PCI DSS Level 1 compliance handled by Paytia
GDPR data protection requirements managed
FCA regulatory compliance maintained
Reduced audit scope and requirements

Security Features

AES-256 encryption for all banking data

Business Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

How does bank account capture work with Paytia?+

Customers enter their bank details on a secure form. We encrypt and tokenise them straight away. Your systems only ever get a token, never the raw account number — so you're not storing sensitive financial data at all.

What is COP verification in bank account capture?+

Confirmation of Payee checks that the account holder's name matches the details given. It's included as standard, and it catches both typos and fraud.

How does Paytia ensure data protection for bank account capture?+

We use AES-256 encryption, tokenisation, multi-factor authentication and full audit trails, all to PCI DSS Level 1. Your systems never store the banking data.

Can I customise bank account capture forms?+

Yes. You control the branding — logo, colours and fonts — and you can add your own fields, tick boxes and terms and conditions.

How do I integrate bank account capture with my existing systems?+

Through our API. You can embed the capture form in your own applications, and push payment notifications, transaction data and customer records into your CRM or accounting software automatically.

What happens after bank account details are captured?+

We encrypt and tokenise them. Your system gets tokens it can use to trigger outbound payments through the API. The original bank details stay with us and never touch your systems.

Can I use captured bank accounts for recurring payments?+

Yes. Once the details are tokenised, you can use those tokens for recurring payments, scheduled payments or one-off outbound payments through our API.

What types of bank accounts can be captured?+

Both consumer and business accounts. Through our partnership with Acquired.com we cover the UK's main high-street banks and most building societies.

How secure is the bank account capture process?+

It runs to PCI DSS Level 1 standards — AES-256 encryption, tokenisation and multi-factor authentication. Everything in transit is encrypted, and the banking data never reaches your systems.

What compliance requirements does bank account capture help with?+

We handle PCI DSS Level 1, the GDPR data protection side, and FCA requirements. Because your systems never store the banking data, your audit scope shrinks and so does the work that goes with it.
